High school heads are gearing up to testing hundreds of students for coronavirus this week before they return to class on Monday.
Secondary schools students will be mass tested for Covid-19 in a bid to identify cases before they have a chance to spread and result in an outbreak.
Mark Barrow, chief executive of Seckford Education Trust, which manages high schools in Beccles, Saxmundham and Ixworth, said students' wellbeing would be prioritised in the reopening next week.
He said: "We are putting in place bespoke testing centres in each of our schools. They will be spaces large enough to manage social distancing.
